Blech.
OK.... was hoping I wouldn't feel the need to write about this but I need to.
I somehow contracted a UTI. Not the painful burning kind.... the feels like you ALWAYS have a full bladder when in fact there's nothing there kind. And once you get to the end of your "stream", there's this sensation like your bladders doing the mambo. It's.... odd... and uncomfortable... and irritating. Seriously. I figure what happened was that the antibiotics that I took for my sinus infection gave me a yeast infection, like they always do. My doctor knows this and prescribed the meds for that too. I took them and everything was fine. I figure the yeast infection got up into my urinary tract and voila.... UTI. So, I talked to Mom and she said drink cranberry juice and see if it goes away. That was last Tuesday. OK.... fine. A good friend of mine and I talked on Tuesday night and she gets them pretty often. She brought me something to ease the odd feelings and a bottle of cranberry supplements, which are supposedly stronger and better than drinking juice. Cool. I've been taking them since then.. the cranberry supplements that is not the other stuff. That you can only take for two days. Yesterday was the first day things felt normal. And then this morning.... BAM! It came back with a vengence and now it's hard to sit still. At any rate.... I'm going to be calling the doctor this morning and seeing if they can simply fax Walgreen's a Rx for me instead of having to go in, pee in a cup, have them tell me its a UTI and then pay a $25 copay on top of whatever my Rx costs. *sigh*
Not how I wanted to spend my morning.
